Superhero Murder Mystery Party Game Synopsis:
Disastrous news has spread across the globe: the infamous Moon King has escaped from prison and may be racing toward his secret lair to unleash a plan capable of destroying the planet. In response, the Freedom League of Heroes has summoned powerful heroes and notorious villains to an emergency meeting inside a high-tech sanctuary hidden deep beneath Shadow Falls, one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
The rival factions must temporarily set aside their differences, combine their extraordinary abilities, and develop a strategy to capture the Moon King before it is too late. This will be the first time many of the heroes and villains have occupied the same room, and centuries of distrust, wounded pride, criminal histories, and personal rivalries make cooperation nearly impossible.
When the summit takes a deadly turn, the surviving guests must investigate the evidence, study the forensic report, question their allies and enemies, and identify the killer while continuing the mission to save Earth. You have been summoned to the Shadow Falls sanctuary, and this is where your story begins.
The game includes a forensic report, Gandore’s Hypnotism Challenge, and a final coded-message challenge involving the Moon King’s secret lair.

We had 11 adults play, and the age range was from 20s to 60s. We all had a blast with our characters, the purpose of the extra puzzles might bother some people but we loved it!
As a teacher, this was a perfect activity for my class. We enjoyed the colorful intro video and the documents were easy to read and follow! The students had a blast dressing for their parts and I did as well!
Very thorough and complete package of materials!
60 pages for a game is excessive. We’ve played numerous murder mysteries and this was by far the least fun and waste of money and time.
My party isn’t until October, but I was very disappointed with the superheroes used, too much fire, lightening, etc that makes it too weird and difficult for people to get into character... this would be my 3rd murder mystery theme party but the worse as far as the story ... again so disappointing :-(
We had so much fun tonight at our hero/villian party tonight. The murder/mystery is well written and instructions are so clear it helps make your party run so smooth. We for sure will be using My Mystery Party again in the future.
